Nabbs vetoes everything. If any team looks like they have gotten better, Nabbs vetoes the hell out of it.

It's because I look further then the first month of the season. Long term this easily improves E27 which is something I'd rather not deal with come playoffs. Fact is he should have had to give up more IMO, hence a veto._________________Bird Watch: TE Zach Ertz: 10Gm/ 67Tgt //47 Rec//452 Yds//2 TD//9.6 Y/R

Yea, but since you have to vote (or not vote) on these things, you should be able to take yourself out of the equation. Just because 27 has a good team and he made a trade to make it better doesn't mean you should veto it. That rule is in place to prevent shenanigans. Not to hinder teams from trying to improve themselves. Both parties were happy with their hauls. And I don't see any reason to think there are any back alley deals going on. So, it should go through. When a team has a glut of OFs, hypothetically, and a lack of RP and trades a decent OF for a subpar RP then maybe a trade may seem lopsided to you but easily benefits both teams. I don't think you should be weighing in with your teams' interest involved.

Anyway, you told me last year baseball season is a LONG season. Who even knows what kind of impact this will have?_________________Kilty sig808 avy

Look I really don't care it was passed because I have seen way worse values being passed in years passed. Yes the veto is set up to prevent collusion but I disagree with the notion lopsided trades if both parties agree should be allowed just for the sake no shenanagians have occured. I'm just not enthused E27 just acquired 20 QS , 230K and a Catcher who might hit 20+ HR for a SP who only pitched 35 innings last season that's all. At the very least another player on his part should have been added. All good let's roll. Nice get 27._________________Bird Watch: TE Zach Ertz: 10Gm/ 67Tgt //47 Rec//452 Yds//2 TD//9.6 Y/R

Woah. A guy who pitched 35 innings last season and had an ERA of 2.57, an FIP of 2.72 and SIERA of 3.10. Anderson also had a WHIP of 1.03 and a BABIP that doesn't suggest a regression is in order. He plays for a quality team with a great defense in the most pitcher friendly park in the big leagues. If he can stay healthy I'm almost entirely assured to have a + player in ERA, WHIP, QS and Wins. He was once the #7 prospect in baseball, is still 25 and his career big league numbers are good (3.57 ERA, 1.246 WHIP).

Lets not make it seem like I got robbed Nabbs, I already have Buster Posey and A.J. Pierzynski at C and a healthy Anderson's peripherals are better than those of Scherzer._________________

All good Mecco you've already admitted to being a A's fan so thinking like that makes sense. I just think Scherzer for this leagues categories (INN, K, QS, ERA, WHIP) will surpass Andersons by seasons end. Hope he stays healthy for you so you can prove me wrong._________________Bird Watch: TE Zach Ertz: 10Gm/ 67Tgt //47 Rec//452 Yds//2 TD//9.6 Y/R

Not going to lie, it didn't feel too good watching Harper hit those two homers today.

But it's a long season. And I guess I turned Harper into Grienke for this season. Not a great feeling right now. If I could do it over again, I would have offered Hanley Ramirez for a 3rd or 4th round pick last year and kept Harper.

Hindsight.

Still feeling great about my team this year._________________
